OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.

Y BAKING-PAN. I

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 22, 1913. Serial No. 786,059.

l/Vith the above and other objects in view this invention consists substantially in the combination, arrangement and construction of parts all as hereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification and show the preferred embodiment of my invention, and

more. specifically set forth in the subjoined claims. I In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of part ,of a series of baking pans conv structed in accordance with the principles of this invention, the individual pans being shown in end elevation. Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of one of the end pans of the series. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the outer side of-the end pan shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line-4-4 in Fig. 1 but on a slightly smaller scale.

In removing a series of baking pans from the oven a bakers peel is used and in practice the peel is applied with considerable force to the side of the end pan of the series, which ordinarily results in damage to the pan. Some means of protection is consequently necessary to preserve the side of the end pan from becoming misshapen. By the use of my invention the end pan of the series is guarded from injury. i

The letter A indicates one of the end pans of a series of baking pans joined together, the other pans of the series being lettered B and G. Upon the outer side of the pan A exposed to the thrust of the bakers peel is secured a protection plate '10 of approxi mately the dimensions of the side of the pan and composed of afia-t sheetof material relatively 'stifi as compared to the side of the pan. The plate 10 is provided at its bottom edge with a convex longitudinal bead 11.

:This bead 11 is in contact with the side of the pan at the ends of the bead, as at 12 and the pan.

13, and i bent outwardly or arched away from the side of the pan, as indicated at 14, (Figs. 3 and 4:). It will thus be seen that while a certain cushioningeffect is given to the protection plate 10 the force of the blow of the peel is communicated through the plate to the end pan at the lower corners of the outer side of the am-which offers the resistance ofthe whole end of the pan to the force of the blow. In other words, the points at which the pan is best adapted to receive a blow are. adjacent the lower corners of the outer side ofthe pan where both the bottom and end of the pan meet the side and form a strongly reinforced point upon the pan. At that joint adjacent each end of the pan the force of the blowv of the peel is received. 7

In the accompanying drawings and in the foregoing description is set forth the preferred embodiment of my invention, but it is-obvious that one skilled in the art may make modifications thereof without departing from the spirit of the invention.

I claim:

1. The combination with a baking pan, of at protecting plate disposed over the outer side of and substantially.co-extensive with one side of said pan, the lower edge of said plate being arched outwardly from said side of the pan and the lower corners of the plate side of and substantially co-extensive with one side of said pan,.there being an outwardly curved bead extending along the lower edge of said plate and said head being outwardly arched over the side-of the pan with the ends of said head resting against the lower corners of said side of In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the-presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 19th day of August A.'D. 1913.
